Shocking News: Toronto blue Jays head coach and three key players dismissed after….
The Toronto Blue Jays traded right-hander Nate Pearson to the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in exchange for two minor leaguers.
The Blue Jays received shortstop Josh Rivera and outfielder Yohendrick Pinango for the 27-year-old Pearson, Toronto’s first-round pick in 2017.
Pearson has a career record of 7-4 and a 5.21 ERA in 93 appearances, including five starts, over four seasons. He has 130 strikeouts and 60 walks in 115 2/3 innings.
It is Toronto’s second trade in the past two days, both involving relievers.
The Blue Jays dealt right-hander Yimi García to Seattle for a pair of minor leaguers on Friday.
With regards to Tiedemann, this is just the continuation of a frustrating career for him.
The top prospect in the Jays organization, he missed a healthy portion of 2023 with injury and was slowed by injury early on in 2024.
He only made eight appearances this year and went 0-1 with a 5.19 ERA.
Armed with elite strikeout ability, he struck out 27 batters in 17.1 innings this year.
He’ll now be sidelined for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025 as well.
The goal will be that he can come back healthy in 2026.
From one top prospect to another, the Jays traded away Pearson, who was also once a top prospect.
He goes to the Chicago Cubs for SS Josh Rivera and OF Yohendrick Pinago, per Jesse Rogers of ESPN.
